DECISIONS BY THE SUPREME COURT IN TWO TFs,


DECISIONS BY THE SUPREME COURT IN TWO TEST
CASES.
A decision was rendered by the United States
Supreme Court yesterday in the case of the United
States, appellant, against F. H. Symonds appeal
from the Court OF Claims. Symonds, the plaintin
In error, was q lieutenant in the navy, and was
assigned to duty April l. 1882 as executive officer
OF the training ship New Hampshire. On the 7th
OF July OF the same year the Secretary OF the
Navy issued an order to the effect that on and
after the 1st day Of August the New Hampshire
would not be considered as in commission for sea
service. Her status after that date was not
changed, and Lieut. SymOnds continued to act on
board OF her as executive officer, but he received
thence'orth only the shore pay Of an officer
OF his grade, without ratiOns or Communication
therefor. The question presented is whether
Lieut.. Symonds' services after the 1st day of Au.
gust were performed cat sea" within the meaning
were he has a right to be paid the compensation
established by law for sea service, The court is
of opinion that within the meaning OF the law
SymOnds, as executive officer OF the New Hamp-
shire, was "at sea" when performing his duties in
the same sense that he would have been II he had
been engaged upon practice ship at sea. The
Judgment OF the court OF claims is affirmed
Opinion by Justice Harlan: The decision Of the
United States agt. Joshua Bishop, which involves
the same question.
A decision was also rendered by the court to-day
IN the longevity pay case Of the United States
Court OF Claims The court holds that the actual
time OF previous service by one claiming the bene-
tS of the act OF 1888 must be credited to the low
the act OF 1870, and which he held when or after
that act took enect, and not to the grade which,
although the lowest held by him after he last
entered the service was not graduated In respect
to hold 1t. Such was the view taken by the court
below and Its judgment is afnrmed.

THE CALIFORNIA MUDDLE.
Why it il Claimed that One.Half thu
State Senators are Not Entitled C
Their Seats.

A citizen OF California to-day explained to STAR
reporter the origin of the difficulty in the legisla-
ture which gave rise to the claim that One-half
OF the senators recently elected not entitled to
seats. AS the denial OF seats to these senators
would give the republicans a small majority on
joint ballot, and enable them to elect a United
States Senator, the matter has excited cOnsidera-
BILE attention. In 1880 a new constitution was
adopted in California. That constitution required
that the next legislature should redistct the state
into legislative DISTRICTS and 1t provided that the
senators elected from odd-numbered districts
should hold for two years, and those from even
numbered districts for four years; and after that
election, all senators should be elected for four
years. Had that required event OF the , constitu-
sailing; for under its terms the senatorial terms
were nxed and definite, even the dates being pre-
succeeding the adoption OF the constitu-
uon, did not perform its plain duty. The
republicans were in the majority, and their
leaders made preparations for redistricting; but
s was an eiemens Of % the repuSeans that wanted
70 ge e as oa
with these republicans, agreeing to vote for the
appropriation II the republicans would vote against
both Its objects and the legislature adjourned
without doing what the constitution required
The next legislature undertook to carry out the
the way was that the constitution, assuming that
the first legislature would carry out the require
ment and had fixed the dates at which the first
senatorial terms should expire and those dates
had passed. Again, the constitution required that
after the expiration OF these first two-year terms
all senators should be elected for four years. 1t
was agreed by all parties that the second Iegisa-
ture after the adoption OF the constitution, should
redstricJ, and it did so, providing that the sena-
tors from odd-numbered districts should hold two
years and those from even-numbered districts for
four years. This was exactly in compliance
with the constitution, except that the dates
named latter had nASSp0
mon consent, the entire senate was elected
and the democrats obtained majority. Since
the election the claim has been set up that as the
constitution required that all senators should be
elected for four years after q prescribed date
(Which had paSSed), these senators who were
elected for only two years had no lawful right TO
their seats.
THE STARS informant added: "But there is
really NO intention OF cOntesting these seats. No
party, no politician can afford 10 do it. The cleo
uOn was held by common consent and approval,
and all the senators will be recOgnized.n
